New Cartoon Network pilot Welcome To My Life...

New Cartoon Network pilot Welcome To My Life. Its got an interesting art style and I like the documentary approach the used. Could this become a full series Holla Forums or will it just fall into the void like so many others?

I liked it but this is the definition of fall into the void

The artstyle is very much Gumball inspired and the whole SJW "The current year is so tolerant guys we have monsters from Japan!" Shit sounds like pure cancer

If nothing comes out of this pilot then nothing of value is lost

The looks made by the UK studio, which incidentally made the original version of a show Nick picked up

How original, here's to CURRENT YEAR teenage angst.

MC sounds like he has autism.

This was basically a documentary about some teen with autism but with monsters. Boring and uninspired

You see writefags, this is why you don't write dialog, or anything really, "realistically". This shit was the most inoffensive, barren, boring thing I've ever seen come from CN's pilots. Complete with "like-uhhh—like" and "dude–like–why are you–ughhhh"; It's annoying, pointless, and believe it or not, it doesn't immerse you at all. Write dialog practically, not realistically, folks.

This whole show is blatantly inoffensive. Even the "jerk" in the mid-point getting defensive about being compared a monster wasn't interesting or biting. He didn't even raise his voice, convey any emotion other than neutrality, or cut the monsterkid off when he tried, barely, to defend himself. Also I'm sick of the race allegories in kids media, it's always done too easy. "wow, that square is different than circles populating his neighborhood! Most circles like the square, but some circles don't like his edge! They'll learn to accept the square for who he really is, though!"

As for everything else, it's uninteresting. The animation's fine, design's are fine, world is fine. There's no indicative misstep or abnormality to latch any form of imperfection or humanity to the world, which is ironic, considering its going for realism. What occurs is a sort of sterility you wont remember 2 weeks from now. Maybe if it wasn't consistently on-model and ambient-lit, i could personalize it. The voice acting was pretty generic as well (kudos for attempting dynamic ambiance in the vocal recordings during scenes like when the parents are being interviewed )

Your no-fun-having teacher should love it, but I was not entertained. 10%

No kids are going to watch anything this slow. Guess they're going for the ironic audience.

You know instead of instantly accepting the monster why not have the kids bully him relentlessly for being a monster? It would be different then just having another "everyone is so tolerant" show and you'd have actual conflict within the show and instead of everyone accepting each other at the end the monster could just get over the bullying and move on. It wouldn't be good but at least you'd be doing something different.

I hate that shit. It's played out and retarded.

Besides that, this is.. alright, I guess. It's pretty much the most down to Earth, relatable sort of writing for a show about kids in school and day-to-day life, but that also means it's boring as fuck and doesn't really have a lot of substance to it.

So their idea for a kids show is a bland mock documentary about a monster in high school(?) with an uninspired art style dealing with things like racism, "bullying", and what? Life?

At least with some pilots they are so bad they stand out, this is just downright forgettable in every aspect.

It says in the description that it's a short not a pilot.

Probably for the best. This wouldn't hold up on a weekly basis.

Barely holds up as a short.

It's so inoffensive that it loops around to being offensive. The vocal-fry-ridden voice acting and "like, you know, I literally gotta do the thing and stuff, you know…" dialog is fucking obnoxious. Also, that "here's this animal/object/fictional creature that acts as a metaphor for a minority to show you why tolerance is important" shit is trite and condescending, especially if its existence revolves around killing you.

He's cute.

Hit a bit too close to home, huh?

Don't try to fuck the monster user.

Kinda boring, but nothing to terrible. The minority angle was lame, but I kinda liked that they showed that you can help change someone's mind on a subject through kindness than force. I don't know, kinda a good message. I liked him being part of a sport team and showing that even if your different there will be things people will like about you. It was a 5/10 to be honest. Pretty boring, but it felt less SJW than most CN shows.

You can't stop me.

It was cozy, right up until the marine biology photos

then I started screaming

the part about people being intimidated by chill big dudes gave me feels, the church community connection resolving the conflict was nice too

...

That part did feel weirdly genuine.

Its basically everything a cartoon shouldn't be and its everything thats wrong with animation these days. Not nearly often enough do we get shows that actually take fucking advantage of its medium. A cartoon should be, well, animated, not a bunch of characters just standing around talking to the camera. This was never going to leave the pilot stage

How is this SJW?

The main character is on the football team
The "bully" was Asian
And the conflict was resolved by a white blonde Christian kid

Not everything that isn't pro-holocaust is automatically SJW

...

The Welcome To My Life pilot is boring as fuck , cant bring my self to watch it more than half, its not funny nor is it sprinkled with deep understanding or anything of interest, it feels like one of those shit tv shorts from rick and morty , pointless and improvised but with a lot of sterility .

12 forever or mystery train were decent , why are they not making them? everything is better than the cancer known as teen titans go

EXACTLY THIS.

I could perfectly imagine in my head a fucking microphone pointed at some retard speaking those lines in the first 10 seconds he started talking.

you mean mexican

...

I can. He's not real.

I think "genuine" is a good word for this short. It's written in a way that is, for lack of a better term, realistic. Real life is boring and slow and uneventful. School especially so.

A lot of people live vicariously through television and it's led them to have unrealistic expectations of what life should be like. That every day is going to be CUH-RAYZEE. That every relationship will be a whirlwind, love-at-first-sight romance. That teachers will be kooky, vindictive lunatics, out to get you. That you'll have stand up to a bully or get stuffed into a locker.

Sometimes you just go to school and it's kind of like this. Just a sort of shrug and "whatever, I dunno."

Which makes for really fucking boring entertainment.

Weird, we all know the "bullies" ( gay rapists) are mostly Darkies.

Who the hell is making this ever something, Canada or something?

It's an interesting artstyle but god damn, does it feel like the epitome of wasted potential. They have goddamn monsters so why not have monster scale personalities and plots? It does nothing with what it has but used as some generic allegory for ethnic angst in a generic high school setting.

Even under the confinement of CY+2 CN rules, I could make something better


Though I'll give it props to the obscure kaiju (Gamera/ flying turtle) reference. Even then, they could have made it funny.

...

I was that kid who thought school would be like everything you saw it to be on TV. Instead of having everyday be an adventure the reality is that I had no friends and was bullied a lot.

For some reason, I was happy when that part came. I became really jaded from hearing a lot of media with nihilist anti-theist shit, so hearing that line was a huge relief.

I like the art style pretty well. It's not realistic CG, but it has some great appeal. The writing and the show's documentary format isn't for me, but it has it's place.

We need YOU in the toon industry. Get busy and save it.

I appreciate the enthusiasm towards this writefag, but I'm not sure if it would work. Currently preoccupied with work and will be for the next few years. Also, my OC isn't even well received here. So I could only imagine how well my scribbles and ideas would sit well with those inclined towards potato grin. Ill see what I can do.

So basically a reverse My Gym Partner's a Monkey or CN trying to ripoff Nick's Bunsen is a Beast, but instead of being loud and annoying it's slow and "down to earth" instead? For some reason that actually pisses me off even more than the others I've mentioned.


Not sure who this Krauzzdragon faggot is but I removed it.

I'm shocked to find out this was Burbank

A fight between a fuckhuge kid and that monster would've been cool to see

Then after the fight the monster is introduced to a fight club esque place that other kids fight in and he goes there to escape his boring life. I'd watch that shit.

Very tawog inspired
The documentary still brought is nice
The kid remind me of "dude weed lmao" (this isn't a compliment) I don't say that the kid should be shy or some stereotype shit but come on there's loads of personalities that where cool for example David Lightman from the wargame movie idk.

Honestly there is a lot of potential but they seem to waist it on bullshit propaganda for now.


The whole tolerance bullshit.
Monsters migration in human world is a subtract to X ethnic/cultural group or other that just want to live peacefully and will integrate the the actual human society.

Pretty much what I thought on a daily basis thanks to being raised with vidya and internet. I can't even remeber what my school days were like, but I still remember what games I played.

funny thing is, I actually do have a genuine friend of at least 14 years
I have genuine conversations with him and we talk about DND and bullshit things and our interactions with other people
day ago I downloaded Zoolander 2 for him and we watched it last night in between his delivery breaks, it was shit garbage but worth a laugh to watch together
Mr. Nobody was better though

I think my Elementary and middle school life was genuine though, just nobody else was on the same wave length

What was your OC? Are you that guy that shilled the Mars comic here a while back?


Yeah that describes it honestly. Seems ok but not sure if it will last.


Is it wrong that middle school was probably the last time i felt genuine relationships? Granted there's a lot of stuff from my middle school years I'd like to forget but there's a bunch of good things as well.


Sorry to hear that user. Hope you're doing better.

it's not wrong or right
its just that most people aren't worth faking friendship with because they don't know how to be genuine

just be genuine and odds are you'll find someone decent to hang with

Wew. I think I know what you're referring to. The one with the unnerving color pallete, smug green cyclops and crude CGI backgrounds, right?

Anyhow, mine was the space peoples, consisting of soldiers and refugees, space marines are overdone are stranded in a fantasy world, where they have to survive under constant peril from the knife-eared menace.

Contrary to the description above, I try to keep it ambiguity between protagonists and antagonists.

Who was in the wrong here?

What the fuck kind of generic-ass title is that? Was it seriously not taken? Fuck off with this. Seems like a gumball ripoff anyway.

Creativity is hard.

That was the first thing coming to my mind. This is Gumball with a boring human cast.

If a monster said that you were the human version of him would it piss you off?

Sounds cool dude. Would like to see more of it.

It's fucking trash.

It's painfully mediocre, worse than trash imo.

Why would anyone screencap that? If only they knew that cultures are born and die and we're at the dying stage, and that's why it's so hard finding wholesome people. I don't understand—if he thinks that way, would others not think so as well? And there is then someone worth being with. I, for example, have a good friend that I nearly cut ties with because of my foolishly autistic ramblings. And no shit cartoons/comics/vidya/etc. are forms of escapism, but they're based on what is now ideal, but was once (more than once) "real"

Exactly why the "realism" movement in literary fiction sucks.

>tfw I made an adventure nearly everyday bullying degenerates and pagans in the name of God

How does it feel that you will never crusade like your ancestors did and that your precious motherland will become the new middle-east?

This is ZOG conditioning.

You seem upset :^)
l-Holla Forums? What makes you think I care about Europe, or the West in general? A carcass of raving debauchery, no longer itself. I don't mind the fact that I won't have any pilgrims to protect. I quite like the peaceful life you know. nu/pol/ may be stupid, but you guys are just a bit worse

wheres the porn

Well, I liked it.

I was thinking it was really lacking in cute monster waifus.

I'm scared. It's eerie that the monster kid talked exactly in the same voice and dialect as I did when I was a teenager. Yet it feels really genuine. It's comfy as a short.

...

why is the fish a nigger?

Darwin always sounded like a muddy for me.

because hes adopted

Couldn't agree more.

Seriously, would kids today even enjoy watching a show like this? Like I know these days a lot of kids enjoy watching let's plays, reaction videos and other boring, uncreative shit like that but a slow paced show about some ordinary kid in high school who just so happens to be a monster? I just don't see the appeal.

it doesn't matter if a kid enjoys it or not if they can find ways to force them to watch it.

Both his voice actors are black if I remember correctly

I think it's more or less pandering to the Tumblrina audience that CN picked up with shit like AT and SU.

It's basically one of those "relatable" webcomics in cartoon form, really.

Because he's adopted and his voice actors are all black and he wears sneakers.

I know for sure that kids under 7~8 won't watch it, they will find it boring and will prefer something more agitated, colorful, etc. I see that the target audience are boring teens, immature women on their 20s and faggots.Can't see a kid watching this. It's fucking CNN, fuck, i know it's dead from a long time ago but the channel is still for children, right?.
Also, the cartoon looks like crap, boring as fuck.

Children watch fake news?

Naw man they watch fake cartoons, user probably just made a typo.

This is so fucking dry you could serve it with cheese.

The interviewer's voice irritates me to no end.
This might actually be okay, if the monster kid did some cool monster shit, or something, instead of having a boring ol' school life like every other boring kid out there.

Thinking about it, I think that a lot of them play videogames now because of how too "soft" cartoons are. E to M rated (7-17 ages) games allow constant depictions of violence and mature content. Even Minecraft is kind of edgy.

It's just like real hipster documentaries where they ramble about their inane lives to the camera. Who the fuck thought kids were going to watch this?

Between not using their skills for something better than porn and ruining the porn with bad taste, this artist can't seem to do anything right.

This is something I've been wondering about. Somehow cartoons have become even more sanitized than they already are, this constant safe space, everybody be nice, padded room tier societal shift has resulted in a lack of fiction with any real edge to it. Nothing can be sexy, nothing can be violent unless it's against nasty wrong thinkers of course! and so on. Back in the day we had a plethora of action oriented cartoons, people fighting, we had looney tunes who constantly beat the shit out of each other, we had edgy jokes.

Children are not innocent little angels who need constant coddling. They love adventure, and violence, and shit like that. Vidya has come and filled that niche where animation has seriously dropped the ball.


He also refuses to make any more starring Gumball or any of the others, because he's suddenly got an anti shota/loli stance.

I don't think kids are the audience for this.

… he just can't stop being a huge gay.

Isn't he still making that Adventure Time game where Finn fucks all the princesses? What about that Gravity Falls VN April Fool's joke where he clearly had fun drawing Mabel's butt?

More mediocre slice of life school shit with muh moral preaching and diversity message that tumblr will jizz over, but with a great Gumball-esque artstyle. A wasted potential that will probably do great with SUfags and their like simply for the message and nothing more. Also the pacing is suffering. Also, the Gamera-esque cartoon seen in there looks like it has a better artstyle and looks like it would be far more entertaining than this static and boring peace of crap with the dull as fuck voice.


An actual gumball ripoff would be more entertaining than this boring as fuck creation.


This sounds like it would be a million times more entertaining than anything on CN right now.

Its amazing really. People bitch about the days when soccer moms messed with the industry, but it was never as bad as the current gen of self-entitled faggots, and at the time we still got plenty of action packed shows with plenty of romantic and objectifying innuendo that didn't even bother them, and whenever something got censored by them, it would usually be good because it would result in a rare uncensored version release of said media we could rub in other peoples faces about owning, like Black Devil Gundam. When shit like that happened it was good for collectors and hardcore fans. Instead, everything today is safe and obnoxious as fuck while only hammering how privileged we all are for not praising women and making sure faggots of every fucking alphabet are thrown in to something, while good shit will easily get shut down, attacked or changed for even the smallest sign of wrongthink, which is far worse than before as now every media outlet is on the side of SJWs (or whatever these dumb fucks are calling themselves now. SJWs? Feminazis? Antifa? Shippers? Disneyfans? Genderqueers? I honestly can't even keep track of these obnoxious shits). Even shit like Adventure Time (despite its art style) started off promising with its D&D-esque absurdist setting before quickly becoming tumblr's pet shortly after that key bullshit.


That's racist stereotyping. Kill yourself humanscum.

So no more gumball shit? Well fuck me.

I'd rather have soccer moms than SJWs. They never did as much damage.

From what I noticed, it seems that animation got hijacked by activists/propagandists who were more interested in pushing a message than pushing the limits of making an entertaining cartoon. The patronizing is so nauseatingly infantile that it should belong on NickJr and PBSkids.

Soccermins did way more damage. But it was like a war. they declared war, and people fought back.

SJWs….Are subverters. Oh no law will be passed to punish you (Yet). They will just spread enough misinformation to make you and everybody else you know publicly shunned and humiliated. Facts can go to hell.

I have a huge feeling that games like CoD, Counter-Strike, Rainbow 6, Battlefield, DayZ, and Rust filled the lost void of GI Joe and He Man. I noticed that a lot of kids play those.

So basically what happened to comics and what is currently happening to gaming then.

Like said, the big difference is that people in the industry back then fought back but now it seems like over 90% are now in favor of SJW censorship.

The trick was masking it in inclusivity.

See people no longer fall for the "THINK OF DA KEEEDS". They instead see minorities (Or any person in an aperant victim position) as KEEEDS.

New strategy.

what if I told you the soccer moms were being subverted as a setup for what's happening now?

What, do you mean the fact that no one listens to soccer moms now or that the soccer moms became SJWs?

Id say Apophenia.

Still can't believe it worked. People who fought to put in jokes that only adults would get are censoring their own work so that Tyrone and Lindsay don't get offended.

Because there was no principle behind the battle. No longstanding philosophy.

To the people that wanted free speech they were just counter culture rebels. They didn't understand its core importance.

So when they got older and felt like they wanted to be nicer, a alternative push did its jobe too them.

Er, no. Soccermoms only usually set their sights on minor shit, like sexual innuendo or mature content in shows and toys for kids, and occasionally some obscure shit that was never good, but became somewhat popular because they brought attention to it via controversy. SJWs are worse because they set their sights on everything that is good, regardless if its for kids, teens or adults, and unlike them, they have full support from the media, the news, normalfags and even the fucking UN for fuck's sake and whenever something is proved to be problematic it immediately changes or gets shut down instantly. Even content creators are their little bitches. Everyone is their bitch because they're the fucking "heroes" who are seen as heroes of equality and diversity bullcrap, so they can do whatever they want and they're still fucking disastrous. When soccermoms hated something, it became more popular, like D&D or Pokemon, but when SJWs hate something it becomes misogynistic filth with unconsolidated opinions on minorities that needs more faggots, trannies and stronk women thrown in it. Only reason you shits think they're worse is because of the veil of childhood simplicity and retardation you youngfags had. What is happening now is far far worse and its not even cute because these people aren't your moms who made you cookies and did it because they gave a genuine shit about you (despite their questionable methods), no, these new age shits are just the rebellious and popular kids you went to school with who hate you and want you out of the things you like because you never made an effort to make shit more inclusive to their entitled and uncompromising self-importance. They want claim this "privileged" and "sexist" culture as their own like they're trying to do with vidya, comics, cartoons, etc, while all the while spewing Bazinga as an example of the new "nerd" order. Even fucking Japan is being targeted.

>>>/reddit/

what did he mean by this

We avoid using spacing here so we can tell the redditfags apart from the anons, you filthy newfag.

No we don't, it's just this one sperg who keeps repeating himself, hoping it'll pick up if enough newfags think he's more than one poster.

That is a complete paragraph you retard.

reddit plz

That was amazing. I'm impressed that CN made something that wasn't shit, was comfy and was positive in one package.

Some of you guys are severely reaching with the whole "sjw" angle, at least try looking up people in the credits to see if your view is supported.

That's the most unsettling thing about this trend. Sure, they'll attack, but they'll rarely, if ever, change policy or law. Instead, they act as a looming threat that causes people to enforce change on themselves.

What's especially troubling about that, is people often understand exactly why they pozz up their shit: They don't want to run afoul of the psychotic hatemobs that will hunt them down, threaten their loved ones, and cost them their jobs. Even comedians do this now. They know they can't be too offensive, or even complain about not being able to use controversial humor, because that will cause a backlash.

This is why people are fine with shitting on gamers and fans who are pissed about all this force diversity bullshit: They can live with being called a spineless feminist cuck, and they can even excuse themselves for championing a degenerate ideology which gives power to screeching retards who contribute nothing to civilization… But they can't live with being called a racist or a misogynist.

Yeah, no. That's just you. Normal people break up big chunks of text for readability.

Normal people rarely ever willingly write long text posts.

So wait increasing readability is too "Hip" for us now? What next?

Not wearing seatbelts cause thats lame? Not locking your doors because normies?

The reddit spacing thing is just an obnoxious b8 meme. It's actually caused by posting from a phone (narrow/small screen) or using the quick reply box in it's normal size, which makes a couple sentences look and feel like a tl;dr clusterfuck.

...

...

he isn't wrong, it could be cut in half to make it easier to read

Faggot.
Polite sage

NO EXCUSES YOUNG MAN, YOU NEED TO POST IN PARAGRAPHS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!

I liked it thought it was pretty chill and relaxing. Not a show a would keep up with but one that I would watch when it's on. Plus I think CN needs a show that isn't all in your face randumb action all the time it could be a nice change of pace for it.

You sound like a parent who pumps their kid full of Ritalin because they're energetic.

wh-what's sexbad stuff doing here

You sound like a kid who needs his Ritalin.

retard

If you think this bland, soulless pile of hamfisted shit counts as "chill and relaxing," we'd be better off with a daily hour of watching paint dry every day.

...

That is the exact opposite of SJW. Admitting people are accepting rather than evil racist homophobes is not being an SJW.

Sorry not everyone is a brainlet pleb like you user.

give me one example of a realistic portrayal of school and children in cartoons.

I cannot figure out who the target demographic for this show would be, little kids are going to be thoroughly bored watching it because it's not funny or violent or filled with pop culture references that will be dated in a few months, older kids aren't going to enjoy it because it either is like real life (just with a few monsters in acting like ordinary people) or makes references to shit that isn't relatable depending on how old the school setting is (like I'm pretty sure highschools don't force kids to shower after gym any more and mos schools probably don't have shop class because power tools are DANGEROUS), and anyone 20 and up either aren't going to have time to watch it because they're busy working or wont watch it on their down time because it's neither relatable to their current life nor witty/funny/violent and comes off as dull and pretentious.

I've seen this before! There was a Nick short like this a long time ago. I'm thinking early 2000s. It was a pencil short shot in the same way. Anyone else remember this?

You have to go into detail user.

Best I remember : The medium is pencil test. Animation is fluid. It begins by the cameraman asking a small girl what she thinks about monsters. The next shot is of a girl monster talking about being a monster in school much like her parents.

Some of the takeaway lines are the dad saying something to the effet of " first of all I'm not a monster, I'm a monster American." It's shot like a ken burns short where they'd drop in panning shots of mother monster being in the french club, things like that. I remember it because it was unusual. It was on that nicktoons channel a while back as filler material.

Actually found it on wikipedia!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicktoons_Film_Festival

It's got the same title but it was made back in 2004. Holy shit the animator just hung on to it.

I think it works as an interesting short, I'm not sure it'd have traction as a series.

>inb4 "just part of the artist's style xdd"
>essentially a show about a boring, strong nerd but hes a wapanese monster!!1 who does nothing interesting whatsoever

webm related, its the vibe I got from the show

:^)

Heh, it actually is more interesting.
It seems he actually has a personality and a sense of humor in the short, instead of being a turbobeta solely defined by his introvertness.
Perhaps a series would work by focusing on different families and the different ways they deal with being monsters amongst humans.

That's really sad.

You'd be surprised at how many people in the animation industry hold on to an idea for many years.

That makes it even sadder.
